Mango adds sweetness, color, and a bright tropical flavor to plant-based cooking. These vegan mango recipes use the fruit in both sweet and savory ways, making the most of its juicy texture and natural sweetness. Mango pairs well with creamy, spicy, smoky, and tangy ingredients, which makes it easy to use in more than just smoothies or fruit salads.

You can use fresh, frozen, or puréed mango in plenty of vegan recipes, depending on the dish. It can bring balance to heat, add freshness to richer ingredients, or create a naturally sweet base for desserts. Its flavor also works well with citrus, herbs, warming spices, coconut, chili, and plant-based proteins.
